Daily Mail chief slams judge

Has Dacre actually read the Mosley judgment? Mr Dacre appears to have forgotten/overlooked the fact that there is always a public interest defence to a claim for invasion of privacy. In other words, if the purpose of the article really is to expose wrongdoing in the public interest, the press need have nothing to fear from the laws of privacy. This is all made crystal clear by Eady J in the Mosley judgment. The only articles that will be prevented are those which invade a person's privacy without good reason (which does not include increasing newspaper sales).
